93% of all statistics are either made up or used in a way that misrepresents the data. Think about that for a second.
Opponents of raw milk almost always bank on the argument of public safety and pasteurization is needed to keep us safe. However, if you ever actually take the time to look at all the evidence yourself, instead of relying on our media’s headlines, you will begin to understand the actual risk you assume when consuming raw milk. I don’t want to convert everyone to raw milk, but I think people should recognize how much the mainstream media misrepresents scientific data.
Luckily, someone has already done an independent review of the data and added perspective to the statistics. http://chriskresser.com/raw-milk-reality-is-raw-milk-dangerous
I grew up drinking raw milk, and I was pleased to find a local source of raw milk. For whatever reason, store-bought milk wasn’t agreeing with me. I never felt well when I drank it, but rather than assuming that it was milk in general, I decided to test raw milk and see. The difference was amazing. I have no doubt that it is much better for my health than pasteurized, homogenized milk is.
